I booked Nicole to do mine and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding and I was very pleased with the results. Nicole did an incredible job on everyone's makeup, and I could not believe how gorgeous everyone looked. Talk about hot bridesmaids! In addition to being very sweet and bubbly, Nicole is a consummate professional. One of the bridesmaids wanted her makeup changed a little bit, and Nicole worked with her to make sure she was happy with her final look. Nicole was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I found her prices to be very reasonable. I would definitely recommend her to any bride looking for an awesome makeup artist!

The services that Nicole provided me on my big day were SUPERB!!! She is top notch! If I could give her 100 stars I would. Anyone looking for a makeup artist that is not only professional and top notch, not to mention the sweetest person you ever want to meet, Nicole is the one for you.

Nicole Palermo was wonderful to work with! Everyone was a little nervous about getting their make-up done for the wedding. All the girls were so happy with how they looked and no one was over-done. Nicole's service was personal, professional and enjoyable! Thank you Nicole for helping to make our daughters wedding day so special, she looked gorgeous!!!!

Nicole was the makeup artist at my sister's wedding and, after she did my makeup, my then-boyfriend-now-husband could not take his eyes off me all night! It really wasn't much of a question who would do my makeup for my wedding.
For my wedding, Nicole made me feel absolutely beautiful. We came up with a theme together at the trial ("old holleywood glam") that fit with my dress and brought out my best features. The makeup lasted all night - even through dancing somehow.
I cannot recommend her enough!

Nicole is magical:) she is amazing! I never let anyone do my make up and I am so glad I let her! She drove 2 hours to do our make up, she includes a trial and is worth every penny! She is bubbly and makes the day of your wedding fun and stressfree!! I loved her!

I absolutely LOVED my makeup!!! I felt gorgous and have never received so many compliments in my life! I wish I could have Nicole do it for me every day. She is simply fabulous and knows exactly what she's doing. My bridesmaids looked beautiful too and didn't have to alter it at all to fit their style, she did exactly what they wanted.

Nicole is such a sweetheart!!! She was so wonderful and made me feel absolutely beautiful the day of my wedding. She does such fantastic work and is such an easy person to work with. She was really flexible and let us use her basement in her house for my mothers, bridesmaids, and myself to get our hair and makeup done since my place was too small and we couldn't do it at the venue. She was so welcoming and easy going that I couldn't have asked for anything or anyone better. She also applied for my 5 bridesmaids free fake eyelashes - which we ALL LOVED and appreciated. My makeup stayed put the entire day, even after I cried at the ceremony and the reception. I am SO glad I picked Nicole to do my makeup, she is the best!! I would recommend her to every bride, a thousand times over!

Nicole literally saved me. Her makeup was FLAWLESS and my girls and I looked amazing. She did eight faces in under three hours and we all looked incredible. One of my bridesmaids even considered asking her to come out of state to do her makeup for her wedding (three weeks after mine). All our lashes were included, and she gave us all looks we loved. She was so helpful and bent over backwards helping me find a new hairdresser just two weeks before my wedding. I really can't say enough good things about Nicole, and everyone said how amazing my makeup looked. I wish she could do my face every day! If I could recommend one vendor, it would be Nicole.

Nicole Palermo is an amazing makeup artist!! I am so happy that I hired Nicole to do makeup for myself and my entire wedding party on the day of my wedding. We had such a great time and she really made my wedding day so enjoyable. I can't thank her enough and encourage all other Baltimore brides to hire Nicole Palermo!

Nicole is awesome. She did a great job on 2 moms, bridesmaids and me. Even though my mom doesn't speak any English, Nicole made my mom feel very comfortable during the make-up. Everyone was very happy with their make-up. I, especially thank Nicole for doing such a wonderful job on my face. I cried a lot night before and my eyes were very puffy that morning. Nicole told me to put frozen pea bag on my eyes as soon as she came in. I was the last one to get make-up done. I thought my eyes were still puffy but after whatever Nicole did, my eyes were back to normal or even better. During the make-up she told me some stories. I don't remember exactly.... but she made me feel so much better about the whole thing went wrong during the rehearsal. I am so glad that I hired her. Not only she has a great skill as a make-up artist but also the great personality to make the brides happy.

This was my daughter's Prom Sat. 4/28/12. Her Friend was going to do her makeup, At 4:00 pm Friend back's out. Prom started at 7:00, Went online found Nicole, What a wonderful Person!!!!!! She said meet me at my house at 4:30. She was finished for the day with two wedding earlier that morning. Nicole was my daughter's angel. My daughter destiney looked so wonderful.
She had never had her makeup done before by a Professional. She was so Happy!!!! Thank you so much for coming to the rescue. I will always remember what you have done and be forever grateful for making Destiney's prom night beautiful, and a night she'll never forget. We will be back for your services!!!!!

Nicole is so professional, she's fun and she does a great job of applying makeup. I have never looked or felt so beautiful. She does not charged a lot and is worth more than every penny that she charges.

Nicole is a make-up goddess! From the consultation to the day of...she is a delight! She gives each girl her own individual look that works for her, but blends with the group as a whole. She makes everyone feel like it's their day! Her smokey eye belongs in a book, and her red carpet looks are just fantastic! My bridesmaids loved her, and my mother jokingly asked what her daily rate was. I plan to recommend her to all my friends, and book her anytime I need special make-up! Thanks for everything!!

Nicole Palermo is an amazing makeup artist. She made me look absolutely beautiful! I would HIGHLY recommend Nicole. You will not be disappointed. She did my face, my three bridesmaids and my flower girl. I looked classy and fabulous.

She calmed me down on numerous occasions (planning, pre-engagement session, and wedding day). Not only is Nicole amazing artist but a beautiful person. If I ever need makeup services I will be back without delay!

Pick Nicole! You will be thrilled!
I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Nicole was really great to work with, she is so sweet and makes you feel really comfortable. I never wear makeup, and was concerned that it would be too much, but I honestly couldn't have looked better. She did makeup for me, two bridesmaids, my Mom & Grandmom, and everyone looked really great - she's awesome at knowing what will look good on people, and neither my Mom or Grandmom looked too overdone, their makeup was perfect too! Nicole's prices were a bargain compared to some of the other costs I had seen, and while still expensive it was definitely worth the money to look like that for my wedding! Only thing I would say is that some of the touch up products she sells maybe aren't worth the additional cost - since I don't wear makeup regularly, I won't likely use them again, but even knowing that I would still book Nicole again in a second!

Honestly, there is no other option than hiring Nicole in my eyes!! She has done my makeup for numerous weddings, so when I got engaged, she was the first vendor that I booked!! I have never felt prettier than when Nicole has done my makeup! She did 10 faces on our wedding day and each face looked unique and simply gorgeous!! Everyone loved her!! She also has an incredible calming way about her. It's impossible to get upset or worked up about anything when you are with her b/c she will just calm you down! She also did my makeup for our engagement photo session despite it being a super last minute request. I emailed her the day before my session and asked if she could do it. She squeezed me in and our photo session was gorgeous!! Nicole is THE BEST!!

Nicole is amazing!! She is professional, sweet and an incredible makeup artist. She did makeup for four of us, and every single one of us has never felt more beautiful! Nicole was so positive and sweet it was really fun to have her there as part of the wedding preparations. I recommend her with my whole heart-you will not be disappointed!

I realy liked working with Nicole. She was flexible on the trial day and was great the day of. She bring her own chair for you to sit in. She stays around to do any last minute touch-up needed. If you are looking for a make-up person to listen to your needs she is the one for you.

Nicole was awesome! She has a great personality and she did an amazing job with my bridesmaids makeup on my wedding day (8/19/2011). She was easy to work with and she was not over priced at all. Everyone was very happy with her work. I highly recommend her if you need someone who is great with makeup application.

Nicole did such fabulous work! My wedding day make up looked absolutely perfect! She gave me the "tools" needed to refresh my make up, but I honestly didn't need to touch up anything, it lasted all night! She is an absolute blast, and has great talent. All of my 7 bridesmaids that had makeup done were all really, pleased (and they are all usually very skeptical of getting make up done). We all loved our make up! We highly recommend Nicole Palermo for make up!!!

Nicole is AMAZING!! She will make you feel so at ease and is such a positive and happy person. I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and Nicole is the one to thank for that. My makeup never budged in fact I even slept in it and my makeup was almost perfect when I landed in Jamaica the next morning! One of my bridesmaids is getting married soon and as soon as she saw my makeup she was convinced she needed Nicole for her wedding too! Book her in advance because she books up fast! It will be the best decision you will ever make! Thank you Nicole for making me feel so beautiful!! <3

Nicole is amazing and I am so happy that I had her to do my makeup on my wedding day! She is so much fun to get ready with and did a fantastic job on my and my bridal party's makeup. She made me look my best on my wedding day, and my makeup didn't budge all night! I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Nicole is amazing!! She is talented and very professional. She made my girls and I look amazing for my wedding. I can't wait to be able to use her again. She is the perfect person you want with you on your special day, she is calming and alot of fun!!!

Nicole.is.AMAZING. I met her a little over a year ago at one of my very good friends' weddings and I am so glad I did! I was a bridesmaid and she was doing our makeup. I love makeup and I was SO excited to have someone like Nicole to make us all look awesome. When I got engaged, I made sure to scoop her up right away! On my wedding day, Nicole fit right in. Not only is she an amazing talent, but a beautiful person as well. She is fun, caring and free spirited. She made me feel more beautiful that day than I have ever felt in my life. I know I don't only speak for myself, I speak for all of my bridesmaids and my Mom...Oh my God, my Mom....people are still commenting on how amazing she looked. Nicole is SO incredibly talented and wonderful and I love her for the person that she is. I can't thank her enough for being there on my wedding day, to laugh with us, joke with us, gossip with us, etc etc, etc. Believe me when I say she is the BEST, she really is! I am so thrilled that she could be there on the best day I've ever had. If you book her, you certainly will not be disappointed, I promise you. Thank you SO much again Nicole. <3

I had such a great time working with Nicole. She was a joy when I met her for my make up trial and was really looking for my own personal style. She was friendly and energetic and genuin in wanting to know about the upcoming wedding. She is well-connected in the Hair/Make-up industry so very familiar with hair artists and venues in the area. She was such a breath of fresh air the day of the wedding. Loved having her part of my day!

I cannot say enough about Nicole and how fantastic it was to work with her for my wedding! Nicole came highly recommended from a few friends, and was one of the best decisions that I made during the planning process. She is incredibly talented and made me (and all of my girls) feel absolutely beautiful for the big day!!! We were all interested in a natural, enhanced, look, and Nicole knocked it out of the park. Not only is Nicole wonderful at what she does, she is such a warm and energetic person, which made the day incredibly fun! Additionally, I used Nicole's recommendation for a hair stylist, Ella, who was also fantastic and a pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend both Nicole and Ella if you want to feel like the best version of yourself for your wedding.

I cannot say enough about this beautiful woman. I had the opportunity to have a Boudoir shoot with her. She was extremely professional, but extremely fun...it was like having a best friend doing my make up for the big day. She made me look naturally beautiful, and she taught me how to properly apply make up and some sweet little secrets to take with me. I would highly recommend this wonderful woman for that special day, or for that fun day of photography fun!

I met this lovely lady about 4 years ago. She has done approximately 6 weddings I have been involved in. Most recently my sisters wedding on 11/28/10. And each time she has worked her magic! She is so kind and talented. She listens with her heart and she makes each person from the bride to the grandmothers feel special and so beautiful. She is calming, professional and so fun to be with. She makes your special day, so much more special. I consider her one of my friends and I admire her beautiful spirit!
PS: Your eyelashes will never look more beautiful!

Nicole was wonderful! Everyones makeup was beautiful. She arrived on time and is so fun and relaxed it makes you stop worrying about anything!

Nicole is one of the most talented and caring makeup artists that I've ever met. Not only did she work with me on the price, she gives her customers so much for their money. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup, she made me feel so comfortable by really listening to my concerns and paying attention to what I wanted. At my trial, I pretty much told her that I was willing to try anything... well, as soon as I said that, I became pretty nervous. Little did I know, Nicole did any AMAZING job and I completely loved how my makeup turned out. On the day of my wedding, Nicole came at the crack of dawn with a great attitude. My makeup stayed on all day long and the false eyelashes looked so nice! I could not have asked for anything more in a makeup artist! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and talented makeup artist! Thanks, Nicole! :)

Nicole was another one of my favorite vendors (I feel like all my vendors were my favorite, I must have been really lucky!). Having her around on the wedding day was great- as another Nicole bride said, she is SO upbeat and bubbly, she really helps keep up the excitement. And when you start to get a little tense that things are running behind or things aren't going exactly as planned, she is there to say "I sense you're more tense right now, just relax!"

As for her makeup services- she is truly an artista. She made me really the most beautiful version of myself. I look at the pictures and just loved my makeup, I'll probably never look that gorgeous again, but man, I just felt so pretty. And it lasted from 2 PM until the time we went to bed, after the after-party at 4 AM... it never faded! My mom looked like a whole new woman, I had never seen her so beautiful (she loved it!), and my grandmother, too. A few of my bridesmaids who weren't planning on getting made up actually changed their minds day-of because they loved Nicole's work so much. She works quickly, did 4 bridesmaids, MOB and GMOB, and the bride (me!) in about 2 hours? Maybe 2.5 hours? She is quick but very effective.

Nicole can sell you some great products like finishing powder, spray and lip pencil and gloss- all of which items I still use on a daily basis. And I got an amazing face wash from her personal line of products which was worth every penny I paid.

Thank you, Nicole, for being amazing!

Nicole Palermo is not only a talented makeup artist, but she is a wonderful human-being. She is bubbly, positive, and full of life. She has such a great sense of humor. I felt like I had known her for years after meeting her for the makeup trial. On my wedding day, she not only gave me a gorgeous face, but she did the makeup for 10 members of the wedding party, my mom, and my aunt all within a few hours...she never broke a sweat. AMAZING! Every single one us loved our makeup, and we weren't an easy crew. I have a multicultural family so she had to work with a huge of skin tones, and a significant range of ages from 9 to 60. She even stayed calm when my anxious hairdresser stole her makeup and started to powder my back! So if you couldn't tell, I highly recommend Nicole Palermo of Happily Ever After for all of your makeup needs on your wedding day...but make sure you book early! She books weddings sometimes a year or more in advance.

Nicole is amazing! She is so upbeat and bubbly! She made me look and feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! Very affordable and she comes to you! She even did a little make up for the three little girls that were at my house the day of the wedding and my grandmother! No one can beat Nicole when it comes to wedding day beauty!

Nicole is amazing!! I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life, and my make-up looked amazing all day and all night. She also did my mom's make-up, and it was the same wonderful story there! Nicole was so responsive leading up to my wedding and was just a ball of fun and energy the day of. She even gave my girls lashes for free! I would definitely, DEFINITELY recommend Nicole to anyone with a wedding or other special occasion. Your pictures will be beautiful! Nicole truly is an artist, and I thank my lucky stars that I found her for my wedding.

Nicole was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She arrived with her handy kit of make up and BOOM did her magic. We had a last minute change and ended up doing 5 girls in make-up instead of just 2 and it was no problem... we were all ready in plenty of time and we looked flawless. The eyelashes were amazing... she made me look like an absolute stunning queen... i felt amazing! I didn't have to touch up all night and it made it super easy because she came right to the house and got right to work! I love her!!!!

My mother and my fiancees' mother were both concerned that our wedding party's different skintones would be a problem for Nicole. That was not the case. She had makeup to fit all skintones and made everyone in my wedding party look beautiful.

I found Nicole through recommendations on the Knot. I hired her to do the makeup for my wedding in 2009 and couldn't have been happier. I am not one who regularly wears makeup and I was worried about it being over done, but Nicole understood exactly what I wanted and it came out looking amazing!! My trial was a wonderful experience I really learned a lot. She also works great under pressure. Due to the Baltimore marathon on the day of my wedding street closures downtown delayed everyone from getting to the prep area on time. I was worried there wouldn't be enough time to get everything done but Nicole was calm and cool and got everyone's makeup done with time to spare! She made me feel so beautiful for my wedding!! If you hire her you will not be disappointed.

Nicole...I can't say enough about her...she did make-up for all my bridesmaids, my mother, my grandmother, and myself...and we all looked gorgeous!!!! I felt so beautiful...hands down...best I have ever looked! She is such a genuinely nice person and I cannot recommend her enough! The trial was great and the day of...even better (did not think it was possible!)...the make-up lasted all night...I am so glad I had Nicole!!!

I LOVED my make-up. It looked fantastic at the trial and even better the day of. Most of the girls backed out of getting make up done when they heard the price but changed their minds after the first bridesmaid had hers done. Definitely recommend! As a plus she has a great personality and is alot of fun to be around :o)

Nicole is nothing short of amazing =) She is such a sweet, caring person who obviously loves what she does. She really listens to what you've envisioned for your wedding day look and makes you look fabulous. I loved my make-up and it most definitely stayed put all day. Between me (the bride), my bridesmaids and my mom, we had 7 faces to do on the morning of our wedding and Nicole made it happen! We even had some time to spare. Everyone loved their look and we had a blast getting ready. We were planning our wedding long distance and I found nothing but praise for Nicole on various wedding boards. She was one of the first vendors I booked even without a trial because I had zero doubts ... and now have zero regrets. Thanks Nicole!

Nicole did my makeup for my girlfriends wedding back in May 2009. She is so talented. I took a risk and just told Nicole to do what she thought was going to look best and she nailed it. Not only did it look beautiful, but it also fit my personality! I had recieved many compliments on my makeup that day and in photos and I owe it all to Nicole. :)

Nicole is the BEST! Book her if she's still available! I had 3 other make up trials before Nicole and once i met Nicole and had my trial, I was at ease! I was super relaxed on my wedding day and i felt beautiful!

Nicole is so talented! ALL of my bridesmaids were raving about her too. She is very creative and has a way of making everyone look amazing! Very affordable and has wonderful pacakges to accomodate the entire bridal party! I can assure you that you will look your best with Nicole:-)

Nicole did the makeup for me and 3 bridesmaid, and my mom and mother in law. Everyone's make up was absolutely gorgeous and showed up beautifully in pictures. Everyone looked glamorous, but also natural and not too made up looking.

Nicole is AMAZING!! I'm new to the Baltimore area and did not have a lot of contacts for wedding vendors. I decided to work with Nicole because she was so nice and professional on the phone and via email. When I finally was able to find time to do my make up trial, I knew I had found an amazing vendor! The trial was great, and I felt so comfortable with Nicole doing my makeup for my wedding day. All my bridesmaids loved her, as did my two year old niece that Nicole was so nice to keep occupied with while the two year old got her hair done. I would recommend Nicole it anyone for makeup needs! I'm so lucky to have found her!

Ohmigosh! I cannot say how WONDERFUL Nicole is. Nicole, Nicole, Nicole. Truly wonderful.
She is sooo very personable. Personable, fun, professional, sweet and very talented!! She makes everyone so comfortable. As a bride (and having done a trial) I completely trusted treat, her aesthetic eye; but my bridesmaids did not establish this level of trust as I have. **Note: none of the bridesmaids had an idea how their respective makeup would look like, not even a peek! (we did not have a mirror in front of the makeup chair). Each had to trust that we would look beautiful and elegant at the end of the chair session.**
Everyone was so happy with their makeup, with their looks! Between 2-moms and 5-bridesmaids, she worked quickly, perfectly, and with much energy in 4-hours. I am so lucky that Nicole worked so efficiently, and well under pressure (very well!). She finished all the looks, and only had the bride left with only 40-mins left (this means get makeup done, into my dress, in my shoes, and on the trolley). Nicole completed my look, all while dealing with a somewhat broken spirited bride, tears running from my eyes. I cannot describe how great everything worked out. But with Nicole + wonderful bridesmaids --> things worked out. Let me know if there is anything you need from me for your bridal feature :)

The FINAL VERDICT: I HIGHLY recommend Nicole Palermo! The makeup was flawless!! Everyone looked gorgeous!! Moms and bridesmaids - all loved their beautiful faces, and party girl lashes!! And I love my makeup! Eyeshadow - gorgeous. Lipgloss - shimmery, and versatile. Body shimmer - perfect!! Lasted the WHOLE night!! Just needed some lipgloss reapplication.

Thanks NICOLE for everything!!

I will be married 5 years this July and my husband and I have decided to renew our wedding vows. I decieded to do a boudiour session with Nicole as a present for him and it turned out to be just as much a present for me as well. Like many women, I am a mother, a wife and a career woman. I take care of everything and everyone else around me before myself. This 4 hour session was the best thing I ever did for myself. I felt beautiful, sexy, and pampered...and I LOVE the pictures and so does my husband!

Many thanks to Nicole and the wonderful ladies from Borrowed Blue (Natalie and Jamie) for making me feel like a supermodel for the day!

I LOVE Nicole. I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life. Not only does she do amazing work, but she is an awesome person. She is so much fun to have with you day of. My mother and bridesmaids were also so happy with their look. I have only met Nicole twice- at my trial and then the wedding, but I feel like she is a friend. I can't wait for my free make up lesson that is included in the package! Hurry ladies, she books fast!!!

Nicole did such an amazing job on our make-up. We were so pleased with the outcome!!!!! I would recommend her!!!!

Nicole is unbelievable and one of my favorite vendors to work with - she is very talented and does amazing makeup, she is fun to work with and makes your morning stress free and enjoyable, and she will travel to your house so one less thing to worry about. Nicole, with a bait of free coffee, came to my house at 7:30 am (poor thing) and did makeup for me - the bride - and 4 more girls. Everyone got special attention from her and was overjoyed with the results. We did not stop laughing and having a good time which is so important on one of the most stressful days. Saying I recommend Nicole would not do this makeup artist justice. We loved our wedding day makeup so much we are going back for a makeup lesson.

I have had the privledge of knowing Nicole Palermo since gradeschool. You will not find a more creative, talented and incredible makeup artist anywhere. She is a genuine artist, and goes to great length to work with her clients to determine the bridal look they want. When she has suggestions, she makes them, but by all means the bride is in charge of her look and Nicole just makes that happen magically and beautifully. Her geniune love of makeup artistry and her appreciation for beauty in all forms shines through in all of her endeavors. You just cannot help to feel more beautiful in her hands. And the final product is just STUNNING! She has done my makeup for every wedding I've ever been in, and when I was planning my own wedding, there was no doubt in my mind who would be doing my makeup - Nicole. I received so many compliments on my wedding makeup and it photographed BEAUTIFULLY. I could not have been happier with how I felt and looked on that special day.

Nicole is prompt, flexible, professional, and given the rock star results, her prices are very reasonable! Brides, if you want to feel like a goddess on your wedding day, consider Nicole Palermo. You will be so glad you did!

I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day! Nicole is one of those people who you meet and feel like you have known for 10 years. She has a warm and sunny personality and is so much fun. She was friendly, loving, knowledgable, and flexible. She came to the house where I was getting ready which saved so much time on the day of the wedding. At my trail she let me tell her what I wanted and spent the time tweaking every detail of my makeup until it was just right. I am going to call her for my makeup for every event I attend from now on and I have already referred my friends to her.

Nicole was absolutely wonderful! So sweet to work with, and a magician with makeup. She made me look exactly as the quote goes "like myself but better". I got SO many compliments on my makeup. And my mom was thrilled with her makeup too, which wasn't easy! She was so relaxed and calm the morning of that it kept everyone calm. I can't say enough positive things about her.

Nicole was WONDERFUL!!!! She was so fun to work with and made me and my girls feel so relaxed the morning of my wedding. Our make-up was flawless, but didn't look "over-done" like some make-up artists tend to make you. All of our make-up stayed on the entire day ( I only touched up my lip gloss once after eating). She really made me feel beautiful on my wedding day! Thanks Nicole!

There's a reason why Nicole is the "it girl" of makeup anywhere *near* the Baltimore area. Not only is she the very very best - but she's just the sweetest most incredible person. Alas....she was booked on my wedding day (oh no!) but I was lucky enough to work with her on the boudoir pics that I gave to my now-husband as a part of his wedding gift. Not only did Nicole make me feel absolutely beautiful that day - she also opened up her amazing home as our location for the shoot. One room was more beautiful than the next with the settings she'd created....

Really - I cannot say enough about the great Ms. Palermo. My best piece of advice to any bride-to-be in the Baltimore area -- call her as soon as you know your wedding date. She books up fast....and for good reason. ;)

Happy planning!!

I told Nicole I wanted a classic, elegant, Grace Kelly look to my makeup and she did just that. My makeup was perfect all night and I never needed to touchup! She was wonderful to work with!

Nicole is one of the sweetest women I have ever met. She made not only a nervous bride feel calm and stress free but had such a great time interacting with the bridal party. She came to our get ready location and did a fantastic job on the entire bridal party. I felt that my makeup was exactly as we had planned out during the trial. It was the perfect blend of natural and classic and I felt like a supermodel when she was done. I can't compliment her enough on her professionalism. She was a great addition to the pre wedding day festivities! I would HIGHLY recommend having Nicole versus someone at a makeup counter.

Nicole did an amazing job on me and all of my girls for my wedding. She was on-time, easy to get in touch with, and an overall pleasure to work with! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to look beautiful on her wedding day!

My wedding day was far from perfect-haha gotta laugh about it now.. but one thing is for sure...my makeup was perfect!! Nicole did such an amazing job. I am very particular about my makeup and I know what looks good and what doesnt so I was a bit nervous about letting someone else do my makeup on my big day but this was one of the best choices I made. Everyone said how great my makeup looked and I couldnt believe how long it lasted as well! Nicole is so very nice too...she is the sweetest person ever and really listens to your concerns and wants. Dont go to some counter at the mall or do your makeup yourself on one of the most important days in your life. In order to look amazing on camera your makeup needs to look a certain way. Nicole knows all this and makes you look perfect. I am so glad I chose her and will recommend her to everyone I know. Thanks Nicole, you'r truly amazing!

I used Nicole Palermo to do my Bridal Boudoir shots as a wedding present for my husband. I was very very nervous, but Nicole and her assistant were unbelievably helpful and sweet. Within 10 minutes I felt like I was talking to a long time friend and I was having the time of my life. She manages to be very professional, putting you instantly at ease so that you really shine thru in your pictures. My make up was fabulous and it really was a wonderful exciting experience. I was so pleased with her work that I have booked her for another shoot for myself and 10 other of my closest female relatives for a day of boudoir beauty!

Nicole was so amazing and so much fun to work with! She did a perfect job on my makeup and it stayed for the whole day and evening. My mom and friends loved her and she listened to what everyone asked for and made us all feel like princesses. Nicole was also very professional, the morning of the wedding she arrived right on time and was so happy and cheerful. I would not change any of my experience in working with her she was absolutely lovely and I can't say enough wonderful things about her.

Nicole made me look natural yet elegant. Just the right amount of makeup that made me absolutely confident to pose for pictures over and over again with friends and family at my wedding. I received so many compliments throughout the night but the best one was when my husband looked at me and whispered in my ear as we were posing yet again, “Not even beautiful describes how you look tonight.” Thank you so much Nicole!

I am very happy i chose Nicole to do my makeup on my wedding day. She did an absolutely amazing job! I felt beautiful! I had many questions when I first contacted her and she was very responsive. I loved having the consults (before & after). I learned a lot of cool makeup tricks along the way. I was extremely nervous on my wedding day and Nicole managed to lighten the mood and make all of my bridesmaids smile. I highly recommend Nicole!

FIVE STARS! LADIES, THIS IS THE GIRL TO USE!!! My wedding was over a month ago and my bridesmaids, my Mom and myself are still talking about how AMAZING we all looked on the wedding day...Thanks to Nicole Palermo! (not to mention all of the compliments we had from friends and family! :)

Nicole's work is, hands down the best I've ever seen. She is a true artist. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she is and how beautiful we all felt that day. She caters to whatever "look" you are trying to achieve....whether it be natural, smokey, dramatic, sassy, sexy or just beautifully clean, she does it perfectly! My skin looked flawless that day! I had some sun damage from the summer and Nicole managed to make it dissappear! I wish she could do my makeup everyday...because I have never felt more glamorous and naturally pretty in my entire life. All of my bridesmaids got Nicole's card that day and have already ordered products from her....not to mention, booked their own weddings with her!

In addition to her incredible work, Nicole is one of the sweetest people I have ever met in my life. Such a fun girly-girl as well as a kind, gentle, geniune spirit. Trust me, you will love her! 10 stars to this fabulous makeup artist! :) I will be using her for a lifetime! :)

Nicole was absolutely amazing the months before the wedding and the day of the wedding. She was spectacular to work with. I am still getting compliments about my wedding make-up! I am someone who has never liked the look of makeup on my face. Nicole listened to my concerns and created a beautiful natural look. If you want to look your most beautiful on your wedding day, you won't find a more wonderful, talented person to help you achieve that flawless look. Nicole is a true professional who knows her craft well. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. Word of advice---contact her well in advance as she books up quickly. Thanks Nicole!!!!

Nicole was wonderful to work with! Her positive energy was fantastic, it is true she makes you feel awesome. When I did my trial with her I had decided on one lip color, and so she had given me a full tube of lipstick and brand new pencil for touch-ups. Then the day of the wedding I changed my mind on the color and she had no problem a) finding the perfect color that I now had in mind and b) giving me the lip pencil and lipstick right out of her case so I had it with me all night. It's those little things that put her above and beyond.

What can be said about Nicole that has not already been said. She is so sweet and fun to work with. I love her. I would go to her anytime I need my makeup done. She made everyone look natural, but glamorous at the same time. She is very professional. And she does a FREE trial! What more could you ask for? Some members of my bridal party were a little upset by the price (75 per face). But, those who got makeup loved it. I think that price is reasonable for this area. Contact here ASAP though cause I am sure she books up fast. But, she is worth every penny!

Words CANNOT describe how much I loved working with Nicole! She is just wonderful! I first met Nicole when I found her for my wedding makeup 3 years ago. I was extremely happy with my makeup and so was my entire wedding party. We all looked stunning and I loved how different every one's makeup was based on our personalities and what we liked. Three years later, I still keep in touch with Nicole for my makeup needs. I did a "Mommy and Me" shoot last winter with my 1 year old and my make-up was as stunning as ever. But Nicole isnt just a phenomenal make-up artist. She is very professional, super sweet and fun to work with! I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! She is a 10!!!!

Nicole was amazing! She is exactly the kind of person you want to have around you on your wedding day. She is so sweet and sincere and she really does listen and understand what her brides want. She was very responsive in emails and answered any questions that I had. She was also so nice as to just drop a o note here and there to touch base and see how I was doing, I thought that was so nice of her. I was so stressed out at some points and to receive an email from a vendor just to touch base and see how I was doing was very comforting.

She did beautiful job on my make-up as well as my bridesmaids, my mother and my husbands mother. Everyone looked gorgeous till the very end of the night, the make-up really does hold up well because we had a lot of tears then there was a lot of dancing and everyone still looked great! I feel that her price is extremely reasonable for the work that she does. She really made me look and feel my very best on the most special day of my life so far. I truly felt like a princess! Thank you Nicole!

I booked Nicole for my wedding day before I secured the caterer, dj or photographer! Nicole is not only an amazing makeup artist, but she is full of positive energy that a bride wishes to surround herself with on her wedding day. On my wedding day, we lost electricity and even in the dark, doing make-up by candlelight she made each one of my bridesmaids look amazing on the wedding day. The make-up stayed on throughout the entire evening and she captured the exact vision for my face on the day. I would highly recommend Nicole for any special day in your life.

Nicole is simply the best. My face was flawless! I got the exact reaction I wanted when I entered into the ceremony room. All of the bridesmaids looked gorgeous as well. Not only is she GREAT at what she does, but she is just a joy to be around. We all felt like she was our friend by the time she finished with our makeup. I would recommend Nicole P to anyone who wants to feel and look like a princess on their special day.

Nicole was fabulous to work with. My wedding day makeup looked beautiful, just what I wanted. Each of my bridesmaids was able to tell her just what she wanted and Nicole made everyone feel beautiful. She's also so much fun to have around!

Nicole Palermo is a Goddess!!! She will make you feel so beautiful on your special day and every time you speak with her. I was a total bridezilla and changed my mind a million times on what I wanted my look to be on my special day. She was so patient and understanding! I had Nicole come to do my whole bridal party's makeup, well, we all looked fabulous! Everyone could not stop commenting how lovely everyone looked-she totally transformed my tomboy younger sister into a runway model!!!! She also has her own skin care and make up line-her lipsticks are the best for any occasion! Nicole is my go to girl for every big event from now on-Future Brides:Trust me on this one, Nicole is for you if you are looking for a stylish, fabulous, and high energy artist!

My bridal party, my mom, and I had the best experience with Nicole!

When going for your trial, she asks for your ideas, and uses her beauty and artistic expertise to bring your ideas to life. She is sensative to the look you are trying to achieve, and, if you are anything like me and have no idea what to do, she asks questions to figure out what would look awesome.

On the wedding day, she kept track of what she had done at the trial for me, but then asked my mom & bridesmaids how they wanted their makeup done because they hadn't gotten trials. Her work suited each of their personalities, but also looked incredible with they were wearing.

Nicole keeps an artistic eye to make sure that you look awesome, unique, and the best that you can on your wedding day. Not only did she do an incredible job, she is also a genuine, sweet, and awesome person to be around.

Nicole was great! I had a small wedding party and she was one of the few make up artists that would consider doing the make-up in my home for just three people. Right away I appreciated her flexibility and openness to work with me. The trial make-up session was great - I was able to tell that she would do a wonderful job on my big day. The day of the wedding, she arrived on time and was a pleasure to work with. I almost felt like she was part of the wedding party because her personality fit so well with all of us. She listened to our preferences as far as what "look" we wanted and the results mirrored what we told her. The make-up look that we all wanted was more of a natural look (not overly made up) and she achieved that with all three of us. Nicole is a true professional who knows her craft well. I would recommend her to anyone.

Nicole is awesome! From the moment I spoke with her on the phone, I knew I wanted her to be a part of my day and I hadn't even had the makeup trial yet. Fortunaltey the trial went great...of course. She is very upbeat and postive and truly makes you feel gorgeous. After one meeting with her, I felt like I had known her forever, she makes you feel very comfortable and special.

All of my bridesmaids had their makeup done as well and a couple of them weren't crazy about the idea since they never really wear makeup. On the wedding day when they saw how great all of the other girls looked they changed their minds. All of them looked stunning and those fake eye lashes work wonders!

I have recommended Nicole to all of my family and freinds for weddings, nights out on the town or whatever they may have going on where they need to get dolled up. She is fabulous and I can't wait to see her again! =)

Nicole did my makeup for my big day, and she is a blessing sent from heaven! She's worked with me before, for an important business dinner as well as a couple of formal events, so I knew the kind of patient, expert, caring experience she would provide. The makeup was fabulous, but just as important was her whole manner and supportive attitude. She was a best girlfriend, top professional and calming influence all rolled into one! She has a fantastic eye for color and the best taste when it comes to creating a total look and complementing everything .. she doesn't miss a single detail! I would describe Nicole as perfect, but that might not be good enough. Ladies, if you want to look your most beautiful on any occasion, but especially your wedding day, you won't find a more wonderful, talented person to help you achieve that flawless look.
Nicole, you are the BEST. :-

Nicole, was amazing!!!! She was very warm and friendly and really made me feel like a bride. I was really down about not losing any weight for my wedding and infact gaining weight as the date came closer and she really made me feel beautiful. Also, the quality of her make up was amazing!!! It lasted through the whole wedding ceremony and reception. I only had to touch up my lipgloss due to all the kissing!!! :-) I highly recommend nicole for all your make up needs!!!! Nicole, thank you for making my wedding day more magical than I had ever expected!!!

Nicole was was amazing! I could not have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day! I have never received so many compliments. On a day that is so important to a bride, she really made me feel special & beautiful!!

Nicole managed making me (the bride), 2 moms, 4 bridesmaids and 1 flowergirl look absolutely fabulous for our Nov 17, 2007 wedding. All of the gals told me that they not only looked and felt fab but that they enjoyed chatting with Nicole. She really made everyone feel at ease. I've never had my make-up professionally done before and was worried about looking overdone but Nicole kept me looking like me - only much better! I was sad to wash my make-up off at the end of the night. I've never felt so beautiful and am so thankful to Nicole that I was able to spend my wedding day feeling so radiant!

I had a very large bridal party including myself, mother, and mother-in-law and bridal party I had 14 people. Nicole is very dependable- right up to the day of sending you off to the church looking Amazing!! Nicole made every single one of us look stunning...Like right out of a magazine photo shoot! My pictures of my girls and I are breathtaking. All of my friends felt absolutely pampered- Especially since Nicole will travel to you! It was so much fun being able to relax in the comfort of your own home with all of your girlfriends while each one took turns getting their make up done while sipping on champange, it made it so memorable! Her attention to detail and true compassion-not to mention genuine cheerful personality, was remarkable. She is very professional. I had shopped around for a long time- but the first time I looked into the mirror at my trial with Nicole I was blown away-I was literally jumping for joy. I am a very picky person when it comes to my make up, she uses top of the line products, MAC, Bobbie Brown.etc., and her own line which is amazing! She completey listend to what I wanted and with her magic touch made me look like an elagant super star. (I even used Eva Longoria's picture as a reference!) She did an excellent job! Better then the make up artist at the Mac counter...Seriously! Our make-up stayed on all night, no touch ups necessary, and I did dance all night long! She was a master when applying all of my girls and I with fabulous indivisual lashes too! It was the most fabouls I have ever felt and I highly recommend her- If you don't believe me PLEASE GO TO HER FOR A TRIAL and you will be sooooo pleased! Not to mention- her prices are very resonable- I was able to afford to give all my girls their make up as a gift! Please check out her website- It is even better in person when you recieve your trial!

Nicole Palermo is the sweetest person you will ever meet. It's so hard to write a review for her because she is just so wonderful that it's hard to put it into words. Her makeup artistry is fantastic! She has such talent and is able to take your vision into becoming a reality. After working with her on my wedding day I felt like a princess...and the makeup held for the duration of the event. Nicole is often raved about on other wedding sites and I can honestly say the reviews are right. I highly recommend Nicole to all future brides, but contact her early...she's so talented that she books fast!

I would recommend Nicole Palermo without hesitation. She did a fantastic job on the wedding makeup for me and my entire bridal party. Some of us wanted heavier, fancier makeup and some wanted a lighter look, but Nicole was able to accommodate everyone’s personal preference. I was concerned that there would not be enough time to complete my makeup as well as my four bridesmaids and two flower girls, but Nicole got everyone finished with time to spare, and we each looked like she had spent the entire day on us. If you choose Nicole for your wedding day makeup, you will not be disappointed!

Nicole was absolutely one of the best vendors of the day. My make-up was wonderful--I got so many complements and was told that I looked like I was right out of a bridal magazine. She also did the make-up for four others (2 moms, a grandma and a bridesmaid) as well as covering cuts on my father's face due to a fall. I also did a trial at her house along with Mindy Whalen who did my hair. It was great to see my whole look before the day of.

My best advice is to book Nicole early--she is very popular. I am convinced that she is the best there is in Baltimore.

Nicole did the makeup for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding in June 2007. She was EXCELLENT! We got soooo many compliments on our makeup. It was perfect because it looked so natural. I am not one to wear alot of makeup and I was afraid of looking too different on my wedding day. I had no need to worry though since I had the best makeup artist ever! She made us look perfectly natural with just that special look for the day. Even my Mom had her makeup done and she NEVER trusts anyone to do her makeup. She ended up LOVING it. Nicole came to my house to do the makeup and she is so laid back and fun, she fits right in and makes the process so much fun. She is definitely the best so be sure to book her early!!!

Nicole was a delight to work with. She has a calming demeanor, and created the most gorgeous looks on 11 of my family and friends. Nicole was responsive to all emails and phone calls. She was flexible about setting up a convenient time for a trial. I loved her work immediatly and booked her on the stop. Nicole came to the bridal suite in the morning and spent 6 hours creating magic. Everyone was so happy with their makeup!
My step-mother, who originally said, "I will do my own makeup" changed her mind immediatly when she saw the look Nicole was creating for the other women. Nicole's rates are very reasonable, and the more people you have , the more of a discount you recieve. I felt beautiful with the makeup look she created, and the makeup lasted all day. I purchased the lipstick I wore on that day from her and wear it frequently to remiind myself of feeling so special that day! I would highly recommend Nicole.

I am someone who has never liked the look of makeup on my face. I always felt it was too much. Nicole listened to me and made a look she called "natural". That is just what it was. I look at the pictures and I just have nice even skin tones and a healthy glow about me. Also, I got married on Catalina Island in California. Nicole taught me how to do this look myself before I left. She provided me with detailed written instructions on how to apply everything inlcluding what type of brushes to use. Following her instructions,I was able to recreate this look myself! People even thought I had found someone on Catalina to do my make up. I would highly recommend Nicole for any makeup instruction or other consultation.

Nicole was spectacular to work with. I am still getting compliments about my wedding make-up! She performs brilliant work and works very quickly. I would HIGHLY recommend her to all my friends and family. Just make sure you contact her in advance as she books up quickly. She is definitely worth the money and will even drive to you to put on make-up!

Nicole was absolutely amazing the months before the wedding and the day of the wedding. As a Type A bride (but hopefully NOT a bridezilla), I was absolutely comforted by the fact that Nicole worked with my schedule and didn't flutter an eyelash when I told her I need TEN people in make-up within a 3 to 4 hour time frame. On the day of the wedding, she made us all laugh, look, and feel beautiful. The first time I looked in the mirror after Nicole finished my make-up, I cried from pure joy!!! Good thing she uses waterproof EVERYTHING!!! I completely trust her and recommend Nicole to ANY bride!!!

Nicole was exceptionally wonderful to work with. She was positive, happy and focused on me on my special day. She really knows make-up and what works best for pictures, etc. She also taught me how to apply my make-up so that I could do it myself on my honeymoon. I took several pictures of make-up that I liked and she was able to duplicate the look that was best for me. I was so pleased to work with her so, do yourself a favor and meet with her, you won't be disappointed. You rock Nicole!!!

Nicole was such a blessing to me -- she was truly an angel sent to me from the heavens!! I immediately fell in love with her when I went to her home for my pre-wedding day consultation. Her spirit and energy are infectious and exactly what every bride wants to be surrounded by on her special day!! Her warmth and kindness are only matched by her amazing talent!! She understood immediately the look I wanted for my wedding day and was so considerate about my desire to look like me and have a natural look versus a heavy, mannequin-like look. I was SO happy with the makeup she applied during my consultation and even more psyched with the way my face looked on my wedding day. Nicole also saved the day when she rescued me from a one-week-before-my-wedding-day hair stylist cancellation!!! She did my beautiful updo for my wedding AND my makeup!! All of my bridesmaids loved her and her assistant -- they were so much fun and really catered to each of our desires re: our individual makeup preferences. Hiring Nicole as your makeup artist for any event will be one of the best decisions you've made during your life! I will definitely use her again in the future and look forward to hanging out with her again for a few hours when that day comes!! -- Jenn Gary

Nicole Palermo is hands-down the BEST makeup artist I have ever worked with, both personally and professionally. I was lucky enough to find her as I was planning my wedding, and the minute we met, I couldn't help but adore her! Her enthusiasm and desire to make your dreams come true is positively contagious. I brought her an eyeshadow color that I wanted to use, told her the general idea I had, and she brought it all to life in a way that took my breath away. Since my wedding day, I have done two more shoots with her, and she brings the same energy and passion to each one. I recommend her to everyone I know, and I will continue to work with her every chance I get!

The best makeup artist. Highly recommend....Nicole has not only done makeup for my wedding, but all my friends and family. She is such a sweet heart and does such an amazing job. The key element for your wedding day.

I can not recommend Nicole enough! She is an incredible talent and person. I have had the honor of Nicole doing my make-up a couple of times and the finished product is stunning. She is sweet, professional, talented and just all around perfect.

Nicole is amazing! She went out of her way to make my day extra special. She made sure that I was completely relaxed and comfortable with everything that she was doing for me and my girls! I really didnt have an idea as to what kind of make-up style I wanted and after my wedding trial with her.. I knew that on my wedding day she would make me beautiful and glamorous! She has amazing ideas and really goes above and beyond to make you feel like a princess! I mean its your day and who better to recognize that then Nicole. You will absolutely fall in love with her ideas.. style.. personality.. everything! I recommend her to EVERYONE. She is worth the money and the wait (although I didnt have an issue with either!) Also, I am still using the tips and techniques that she taught me at my trial. You will not be disappointed! Thanks Nicole for making me look fabulous on my wedding day!

My name is Christine Singelakis. I received services from Happily Ever After (Nicole Palermo) for a Bridal Boudoir photoshoot about 3 months ago. Nicole was fantastic. Not only did she do a fabulous job on applying my make up, making it look very blended and natural, but the warmth of her personality made me feel so comfortable and confident during my photo shoot. I felt and looked like a million bucks. She took her time and was extremely accomodating and in tune with what I wanted. I would recommend Happily Ever After to anyone who is looking for quality, professional make up for wedding photos. Nicole is truly an artist!

Nicole is the best person to choose to be your makeup artist on your wedding day. She is a beautiful person, not only on the outside but also on the inside. Nicole was very professional, creative, and responsive to my needs. She met with me prior to my wedding day to make sure she had the right makeup for my color, complextion, etc. She did the same for my Matron of Honor and Mother. The rest of my bridal party loved her too. My wedding pictures could not have been better. I just don't know what more I can say, except that you won't go wrong by having Nicole be your makeup artist on your special day.

Nicole was wonderful! Every bride wants to feel beautiful on her wedding day and as make-up artist, Nicole made me feel that on the outside. But, her she also made me feel beautiful and confident on the inside as she made me feel like I was the only person in the room. She not only wants to give her brides the most amazing wedding day make-up; she goes out of her way to promote a peaceful environment for the day so that the bride can truly enjoy herself! She is witty, compassionate, sensitve, and most of all incredibly talented and has an amazing ability to capture the essence of everyone that she works with and maximize each person's unique special qualities. She is truly one of a kind and I would recommend her to anyone!

Nicole was great to work with and did a beautiful job with the make-up for the entire bridal party. She uses MAC products and, despite never having done makeup for an Indian wedding before, she did an amazing job. We did a trial run for the bride, maid of honor and bride's mom and tried out different colors to match our outfits. She arrived at the venue on time and even did the make-up for people that weren't in the bridal party. She was very sweet, enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.

Let me start by saying Nicole is an amazing artist.She did makeup for myself and bridesmaids for my may wedding in 2000.She has a special way of making everyone feel so comfortable and special.She makes you feel like you are a princess.I also worked with nicole on a boudior photoshoot where she did our makeup and styled us, she then had a professional photographer.All I can say is please see her website!!!She puts a unique stamp on everything she does and you will not be disappointed!I had so much fun that I then booked her to do my 5 year olds makeup birthday party!We had a blast!Thank you so much nicole you are a jem!

What's not to love about Nicole?! She is a makeup genius and a super fun person to have around on your big day! It is always a fun day when I meet up with Nicole for a wedding!

Nicole really knows the tricks of her trade. She can turn a shy little grey mouse into a beautiful swan and make an already beautiful face even more gorgeous.
Not only is she an amazing Make Up artist, but she is also as sweet as can be. If you hire Nicole, I promise you ... not only will you look great, but you will also feel that you made a new...

Nicole is absolutely amazing. I have had so many brides use her for their wedding make up and no one has ever had a negative word to say about her or her work. She even has a line of beauty products that are amazing too. Great person...great personality...highly recommended!

Can't say enough about Happily Ever After!!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!! Amazing to work with, we reccomend them to all of our clients!!!!!
